Profile:One of Zimbabwe's promising young pace bowlers, whose rise to prominence is all the more remarkable as he has no family background in cricket. A little short of the top pace, but Pom sees himself primarily as a line-and-length bowler, using both seam and swing, with the away-swinger his stock ball. He was also a useful batsman at school, and may develop his batting at the top level. Introduced to cricket at school his obvious talent led to an invitation to attend Dean Close in England in 1995. In March 1996 he went to Madras for coaching by Dennis Lillee; on his return he was offered a place in the Plascon Academy in South Africa, which he attended from April to September 1996. A surprise choice for the Zimbabwe tour of Pakistan, he made his Test debut after the first choice bowlers were injured but made the most of his opportunity, taking the vital wickets of Ijaz Ahmed and Wasim Akram. he has had difficulty maintaining consistency at the top level, but with his willingness to work hard at his game, he should have a fine future. (John Ward, 1999).
